S. Korea continues natural fall in population amid record low births
I remember watching a video not long ago about this girl in South Korea who went to uni, couldn’t find a job in her area. Then started doing web development and also had to work in a convenience store and could barely survive.
I know there’s a lot of people who never wanted to have kids to begin with and that pop decline is a worldwide phenomenon right now. However, even if someone wanted to have kids, how the heck can you do it if you can barely survive even with 2 jobs?

Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

I'm using Memmy (https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy) and even though it's still in testflight I'm socked with the vast amount of updates, you get pretty much one a day and features are building up very quickly. It gives me a similar experience as Apollo used to. RIP Apollo

Link for people who don’t have a reddit account anymore. As now everything is unreviewed content and you need the app

Imagine if the same happened in USA every time an innocent is killed by a police officer.

Paris is battling an infestation of bloodsucking bedbugs on trains and in movie theaters as the city gets ready to host the 2024 Olympics
I’m very impressed to learn that dogs can be trained even to smell bed bugs.

Starlink is refusing to comply with Brazil's X ban (Update: Starlink will comply)
Reply in thread
Yeah. It’s really sad that a lot of people on remote areas in the Amazon will be affected by a ban on starlink. They also spent quite a bit of money for Brazil’s standards on the equipment as well.
Still, this shouldn’t be the reason to put anyone above the law, no one should be above a county’s law.
If this actually happens it may really backfire on Elon and all companies he’s involved, at least in Brazil.
As you invested your money in one of his companies products and now because of his massive ego/lack of mental stability you either lost support, functionality or access to parts (for maintenance of hardware) and I doubt any of his companies would pay their users for this inconvenience. This would make using any of the products he’s involved with too risky, better to just use a more “mentally stable” competitor even if the service or product is slightly worse.

As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal
Reply in thread
Same for me. Lemmy still has some rough edges but even the apps that are available now are really good as they are. Improvements are happening at amazing speed. What we currently have is quite good in my opinion and this is the worst it will ever be, as we’ll have improvements on top of improvements, most apps and lemmy itself are open source, I believe that soon, instead of us feature pairing with reddit, it will be them trying to chase us up.

There is currently a huge wave of automated spambot sign-ups on other Lemmy instances. This post explains how lemm.ee will respond.
Thanks for all the hard work your putting on this. Initially I thought that running an instance would pretty much have monetary cost only and not much time invested after things were set up. But looks like this is consuming your time as much as a full time job, all to make our experience better. Thanks a lot

Over 15,000 hacked Roku accounts sold for 50¢ each to buy hardware
Maybe that’s why they were trying to force their users to sign a new user agreement that wouldn’t allow users to sue them or something? I don’t recall the exact details but I remember it being very shady

Infamous power mod got permabanned without explanation, then have a public meltdown.
I usually don’t pay attention to mod names, however, this name wasn’t an odd one to me somehow.
Then I tried to search for the name as I remember seeing in the past that a handful of mods owned 90% of the subreddits.
Bumped into this and now I know this mod was one of them.

Linux or Landfill? End of Windows 10 Leaves PC Charities with Tough Choice
I understand that people need to be a bit more tech savvy to use Linux over windows but I reckon that KDE for example is really similar to windows (but actually much much better) and with the ai chatbots we currently have available I reckon any non-tech users would be able solve most of the issues with the chatbot’s help

A unique aquaponics system to produce more fish and vegetables with less energy
I don’t know anything about this subject with the exception of a video I watched a while ago mentioning that most hydroponic startups end up failing because the cost is too high as you always need a specialist and you can only grow smaller plants/veggies there. This compared with traditional farms.
Does this change that at all? I’m hoping it does as I’d love that hydroponics got much more financially viable as I honestly believe they’ll be our future considering global warming and pests as well.

I'm not a doctor, but the blood oxygen and blood pressure readings are some cause for concern!
My concern here is how poorly edited the watch is on everyone’s wrists. The cyclist one is the worse one.
